Encarta - White Honey
Bee honey is composed of fructose, glucose, and water, in varying proportions; it also contains several enzymes and oils. The color and flavor depend on the age of the honey and on the source of the nectar. Light-colored honeys are usually of higher quality than darker honeys;
white honey is derived from the Californian white sage, Salvia apiana
. Other high-grade honeys are made by bees from orange blossoms, clover, and alfalfa. A well-known, poorer-grade honey is elaborated from buckwheat.
Wiki - White Sage
